City of Gold Coast · development applications

What is being built on the Gold Coast, and what do people think of it?

GCScraper reads the council's public record of development applications and the public submissions made about each one. Ask about a suburb, a topic or an application number by typing or by speaking, and it shows what it found.

At a glance

Everything still in progress, plus decisions on applications lodged in the last two years.

Only a small share of the filed submissions have been read for stance and location so far, so objection counts on the map understate how contested an application is. Submissions filed is the better measure of scale.
